Jan Juc, Torquay & Bells Beach
Jan Juc and Torquay sit at the start of the Great Ocean Road on Victoria’s Surf Coast, about 95 kilometres from Melbourne. Between them they hold the beach that gave Australian surfing its home — Bells Beach, where the Rip Curl Pro has run every Easter since 1961 — along with the surf brand outlets, the clifftop walks and the beaches people come back for.
This guide covers where to stay, where to eat and drink, where to surf and what else there is to do.
